How to Make It

Step 1

In a large saucepan, combine the chicken stock with the water, agave syrup, grated ginger and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Add the lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Using tongs, transfer the noodles to bowls. Add the beef to the noodles and ladle the hot broth on top. Drizzle with the sesame oil and top with the basil, cilantro, scallions and bean sprouts. Serve with lime wedges and chile sauce.

Notes

Shirataki noodles are sold refrigerated at health food stores or online at miraclenoodle.com.

Review Body: This recipe has all the components, but I'm not sold on the balance of amounts. Why add water? It makes the broth taste, well, watery. It's not like you're cooking a soup for hours and giving it more flavor. I cut back to one cup, increased broth to 4 cups and it still was too thin. Next time I'll use just broth. Also found it had too much lime juice so either increase the soy or decrease the lime juice to one tablespoon. You can always add more with lime wedges when serving. I also added a little nam pla for more flavor.
Mung beans and shirataki noodles are a great combination.
